It is believed that we humans began to inhabit the Earth from about 200,000 years ago, after evolving from other species, but the planet itself is about 4.5 billion years old. Life began to develop from about 3.5 billion years ago, and nowadays it is home to an estimated 100 million different living species. Living things can flourish safely on our planet due to it's magnetic field, which is possibly controlled by the core of the planet, and which blocks harmful radiation from outer space. Other major protection for all of Earth's many life forms comes from the ozone layer, which was developed by a combination of our earliest living organisms, along with the basic elements that were present before life began on Earth. Without the Earth's protective magnetic field, and its ozone layer, we humans would not exist.

The World's Interior

The make-up of the interior of the planet is a little hard to prove, although scientists and our schoolbooks confidently tell us that the planet gets denser as you go in deeper. The official line also declares that the crust itself only makes up about 1% of the total volume, and it is thought to be about 6km thick under the

oceans, and about 30-50km thick where land is present. Inside that crust is a thin layer called the Lithosphere, and that is surrounded by a 3,000 km thick mostly-solid layer called the mantle which makes up about 84% of the Earth's volume. In the very centre of the planet are the core, which is believed to be made up from almost 90% iron - with solid iron in the inner core and liquid iron in the outer core, and some nickel in both sections too - and this section accounts for about 15% of the planets total volume.

Scientists also believe that the inside of our planet is active, and that therefore this creates the volcanoes and movement of the tectonic plates, which cause our continents to move gradually over vast amounts of time. The geological layers which we believe to be present reflect what we think about the make-up of the inside of the other solid planets too, but in reality, humans have only physically been about 4km under the surface (gold mines in South Africa), we have only ever drilled down to a distance of 1.7 km under the seafloor, and our deepest penetration ever by drilling under land was 12.262 km (7.62 miles) down the Kola Super deep Borehole in Russia.

Whilst the depth we have reached may seem massive to us, it only accounts for about 25% of the depth under both the undersea crust (1.7 km of 5-10 km) and land crust (12.262 km of 30-50 km). And the distance of well over 3,000 km to the centre of the core, dwarf's where we have gotten to physically, so we really must rely on our scientists having guessed correctly for all of this time, because we actually have no visual or physical proof available to either prove or discredit these beliefs.

The World's Continents

Depending on differing criteria, there can be considered from four to seven separate continents on our planet. The most popular ways of distinguishing the continents are the 7-Continent Model (Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Oceania, Antarctica), the 6-Continent Model with Europe and Asia combined (Euro-Asia, North America, South America, Africa, Oceania, Antarctica), and the 6-Continent Model which includes the America's as one single continent (Europe, The Americas, Africa, Asia, Oceania, Antarctica).
